Finals MVPs of the 2020's

Lebron: 30/12/8, 67% TS
Giannis: 35/13/5 66% TS
Curry: 31/6/5 63% TS
Jokic 30/14/7 67% TS
Brown: 21/5/5 53% TS

I guess having a really stacked/complete team can compensate in the Finals for not having a superstar doing superstar things.

And I guess we can definitely say that Tatum isn't a tier 1 superstar.

I honestly cant remember any of this conversation about whatever we discussed.

Lol nvmd then. It never happened.

I really don't care for the Celtics as an organization, but they played team ball and it was fun to watch. Nice balance of players. I just really hope this is their last title ever.

Tatum struggled with his shot but defensively he was great during the playoffs and he upped his rebounding and playmaking.

As I would expect from any solid level 2 supporting star. Very Pippen-esque.

Only a couple of weeks until Summer League.

Great post.
Can't wait

Yep
Of course we already knew this due to the Chauncey pistons.

Exceptions will usually happen on occasion

They probably win another with this core alone.

Monty Williams was just fired with 5yrs and 65mil left on his contract. Apparently he has another 20mil left that the suns are paying him. Crazy how an average retread coach is getting paid more than any coach in history to stay at home.

Going to go out on a limb and say they negotiated a buyout because it would be insane for Detroit of all teams to be paying a coach that much to leave.

This Monty stuff is pretty crazy. No buyout for Monty. He got $20M to not coach the Suns, now $78.5M from the Pistons. Almost a $100M and all he had to do is fake coach the Pistons for one season. He even told the Pistons he did not want to coach, but that just make them up their offer. Seems like he was sandbagging on purpose to get fired quickly.

Get the bag Monty!

Monty Williams’ failure in Detroit was predestined. Pistons ownership chose not to see it

Going back to his introduction — when he cited money as a key factor in taking the job — it was hard to believe Williams was fully invested.

He got the bag and went full Costanza. Big brain stuff. He broke the coaching market in the process... well maybe he reset the bar is a better way to put it.
